Off to the insurance company I go!



Recommended Posts

I called to check if my chart was still in medical review. I passed medical review and my packet was sent to the insurance company. I hope the insurance company doesn't take forever. I have UHC Choice Plus. I am excited, but scared that I am going to be denied.

I am so ready for this. Can't wait to be off some of my meds and to be rid of my horrible heartburn. Being thinner is just going to be a bonus.

I am so furious!! I was told that my packet was sent to insurance last week. The insurance coordinator was not even in the office last week. Now why couldn't of they just told me that? I am not going to get attitude with them I would of waited patiently for for my info to be sent off. I called this morning and basically got chewed out by a receptionist. They told me, I would receive a phone call when they heard back from insurance. Well, I want to know when they send it to the insurance company so I call and get updates from them.

I honestly think I was put on this earth to bug doctor's offices and insurance companies...lol. When I was going to have back surgery in February, I called UHC so much that they put a rush on my case. It was approved the next day after the supposed rush was put on it. They where even nice to call me and tell me I had been approved. I also have the number to their clinical specialist department, I don't know if this is the department that makes the decisions or not, but they where always able to give me more info about my case, then people could if I called the number on the back of the card.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
